Who runs this

Works Better Corporation, a nonpartisan public benefit corporation, builds this site.

Independent public-records project, separate from the City of Fort Collins and from every party and campaign.

Every number carries one of four labels (FACT, CALC, SAMPLE or PENDING) and a source you can open.
Budget

Fort Collins' net budget includes a line for a separate fire authority

The headline is the city's net budget as adopted. Part of it is the city's payment to Poudre Fire Authority, a separate authority. The line stays inside the total and is named beside it. Both figures are shown, and neither is added to the other. The amended appropriation is a different quantity and is on the page.
